I have driven it only 1300 miles since I got the car. I have been all over the place from 87 octane to 94 octane. I am trying to figure out if the gas gauge works so I often top off the tank for fear of running out of gas. It seems to read near empty a lot sooner than I would expect. So I end up mixing grades. But with gas prices skyrocketing, I have been getting 87 octane recently. This run on only seems to happen now that I stick with 87. Thanks

That sure is different!

Maybe this is the wrong place to post this, but here goes. I am using 87 octane and when I drive my 240z for about 45 minutes to work and then turn it off, the car continues to run for a little while. Every once in a while it gives a rather loud backfire then finally comes to a stop. Should I be using highedr octane?

Sounds like you got a great deal. I would love to get just a parts car for $100. Best of luck to you.

thanks for the tip. I am keeping my eye out for a sale at autozone

Unfortunately I am going to have to move my Z out of the garage and into the driveway. I think I need to get a cover for it. Since I live in the north, it will get snowed on. Does anyone have any suggestions on which brands and/or types would be the best get? Thanks.

Thanks for the input. I have decided to use replacement covers. I got the first one on OK. I am still trying to get one of the screws off of the other seat bottom so I can recover it. That screw won't budge. I have soaked it in Liquid Wrench and WD 40. Tapped it with a hammer. It will not budge. Any ideas how to free that one?

Is it possible for me to place a 1973 speedometer cable into my 1971 240z? Does it matter if it was manual or an automatic. Thanks!

I need to replace all of the rubber hoses - well all of the rubber period. What is the best way to oreder these parts. I can order them one at a time. I thought if someone sold a kit, it would be a lot easier. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for all of the input. I will start the process of searching for some good used seats. When I find some, I will let you all know how it turned out.

What is involved in switching out the rollers? Is that something a begining car guy can do with some muscle (have that) or is that welding type stuff?
